Featured in this lot we have a F.I.E. Guardian model vest pocket pistol chambered in .25 caliber with its original box. This pistol was manufactured for Allen Bernkrant, the former President of Southern Gun & Tackle and comes from the collection of Jim Supica. Allen Bernkrant was an avid collector of firearms and particularly enjoyed collection the serial number 1 models from manufacturers. Due to his connections and love of serial number 1 guns, some manufacturers made first models for Bernkrant marked with his initials. This pistol comes with a letter of provenance from Jim Supica. The pistol displays a 2 1/4" long barrel, white plastic grips, 6 shot magazine, external safety, and chrome finish. The left side of the slide is marked ".25 CAL. GUARDIAN" with the right side of the frame is marked "F.I.E. CORP MIAMI. FLA.". The pistol shows a bright chrome finish with the white grips and bottom of the magazine. The pistol comes with its original box and papers. Mechanically the pistol shows working action with good spring tension and crisp trigger. The pistol shows good condition overall with minor wear due to age and use with the box showing wear from storage and handling. The pistol and box weighs 14oz. Serial Number: G060001. This is a modern firearm and requires a FFL transfer or NICS background check.
